I didn't think the kids, especially the breastfeeding babies should be seperated from their mothers either....until I read that the babies were taught as infants not to cry for basic needs. That they are "trained" not to cry by placing their faces in water when they cry. And that their "fathers" spank them as infants repeatedly until they fall asleep from exhaustion. IF these facts are accurate then they should absolutely be removed from their mothers because that is abuse.
I am a breastfeeding mother myself. They thought of being seperated from my baby is horrible. I hope that what I read (try usatoday) is untrue. I did not like what the judge said about BF mothers. That mothers routinely went back to work at 6 weeks pp and the babies were formula fed and all is well. That statement is disgusting.
The truth is that we will never know all the details of the case. We won't know they evidence the state has. (I do hope that the state has crossed their t's and dotted their I's and that this is all worthwhile)
I pray that these children all find their way in life. I pray for these children daily. It is very sad.
Ps- If when these children turn 18 they are not free to leave the compound. Then it is a cult. If these women are not free to leave at anytime....then it is a cult.
One more thing. Where are the "lost boys" I hate to think what has become of them.
